The good news about the clothes is that they don’t have printed on details. Bad news is that you don’t get much clothing for Renee. Just some shorts, a top, the heart corset thing, and some plain boot shoes. I’ve seen better outfits from those generic doll clothes that Wal-Mart used to sell for $2 a couple years back. Good times. Worse yet, the clothes are VERY tight on the body. Renee can’t sit down without splitting the velcro back of her pants. The heart corset is tacky and keeps sliding down her torso. Mattel should have given Renee a vest or jacket instead of that damn useless corset thing. Oh yeah, the earrings are glued into her head. And mine has a misplaced earring. FML
I guess Renee’s “thing” is all about food as she comes with several food related accessories, including a drink cup, pretzel, bag of chips, smartphone in a popsicle shaped case, a sandwich shaped purse, a laptop with an eggs n’ toast wallpaper, and last is a cartoonish slice of pizza. I think the pizza is supposed to be one of those soft foam squishy toys that the kids these days love so much. Also, most of the pieces that haven’t been recycled from older sets have that same HUEG distracting Barbie logo that Renee has on her back.
Even at $20, this doll feels like a waste of money to me. She could be reworked to look better. But to do that, you’d need to spend more on clothes. You’d also have to sand away at those logos on the back and dig into the plastic on the butt to give Renee a real butt-crack. And then there’s the whole mess of rerooting the hair which is just more time, talent, and treasure to spend on a sub-par doll. If you REALLY must have a Dream Bestie doll, just wait until they inevitably go to Ross or Ollies. Otherwise steer clear and spend your money on a better doll.
